Six District Democrats vie to unseat Jenrette in South Carolina primary
South Carolina's 6th District sees four Democrats challenging incumbent John W. Jenrette Jr. in the Tuesday primary. Jenrette touts his record and runs aggressive TV ads as rivals including Florence mayor C Tedder, Hartsville attorney William R Craig, Georgetown farmer Goldie L Gause, and former Darlington announcer Richard Bennett seek the nomination. The district, spanning 10 counties to Florence and Myrtle Beach, remains rural and poor with a significant Black population and has seen a volatile recent political history centered on Jenrette.
